I have been filming and editing for many years now, starting out as a hobby and then turning it into my career. I specialise in creating videos which are optimised for search. I research keywords which your target audience will be searching for and make sure they are part of your videos script. This ensures your video has the largest possible impact and gains a following away from the traditional methods. Crowdfunding is something that really interests me and I love working with fresh and excited start ups. I am currently working on crowdfunding a film using my knowledge of YouTube optimisation to create the audience. www.videtproductions.com
